Unit 12 - Final Project

It's Final Project Time!!!!

I will be honest, making a video freaks me out because I am really not the best when it comes to editing. Movie maker is easy enough to use but I found that when I added my videos to youtube that the audio track didn't play. The first time the audio from the original videos played and the audio track wasn't there at all. The second time I uploaded my video it uploaded as a silent film. The third time was the charm (pun intended haha) and it all worked together. I have no idea what happened and why I had problems but that's technology for you. The last thing before I go, I wanted to describe my process. I have no idea why these videos take me so long to make. I made the first one thinking it would be my final project but then after making it I realized that I didn't use much skill to create the 30 second video. I wasn't extremely proud of it. So I uploaded it and decided to use it as practice. Then after it was uploaded to youtube I had a brainstorming session (which involved a mug of tea, watching an episode of Friends on Netflix and browsing facebook) I came up with the idea for my final project video. It took me 3 hours to collect the clips. Edit each clip, then delete 3 clips because the whole video came to 7 minutes. Edit each clip even shorter and download a song that would work for the entire video. After saving it all in movie maker I uploaded it to youtube the first time. After it didn't work I went to bed because only bad things happen after 2 am. (That was for you Stina ;) The next morning I uploaded it twice more and I could finally link it to my blog. So that is my story on how I finished DS106. I wish I had logged the hours I worked on DS106 assignments because I can guarantee you it is probably about the same hours I work in one week that I spent on homework in one semester. But thats the end of my rant, enjoy my videos!

I honestly really thought my video would suck. So I came up with an idea and I rolled with it. I love the hangover and I came up with this scene,

Hangover Tiger

But after making that I said to myself that I could do better than that. So I challenged myself. I created a movie based on some of my favorite scenes from movies. I love movies, I think there is nothing better than diving into someone's story. You can get lost in it. Party scenes are some of the best scenes in movies so I decided to create an evolution of party scenes. You're welcome =)
